Gramophone magazine placed Artist-in-Resident Jason Vieaux “among the elite of today’s classical guitarists.” In his final concert of the season, Vieaux returns to the intimate natural beauty of the Sunken Garden with a solo recital of classical and contemporary guitar music that spans the globe—from Italy and Argentina to Mexico, Brazil, and the US—including selections from his 2014 Grammy Award-winning album, Play.

Bring your chair or blankets and a picnic and enjoy live music from Beacon artist, Jill Hartmann. Raised in Louisiana and the child of two musical families, Jill began singing at a very young age. Her first concrete passion aside from singing was poetry, writing volumes of verse starting from the time she was 8 years old which would inevitably aid in her songwriting in later years. Eventually she would attend Louisiana State University for poetry but along the way, her true love of music made its way back into her life. At the age of 20, Jill started teaching herself how to play the guitar, emulating such legendary folk finger-pickers as Joni Mitchell. The result is a unique and immediately identifiable style all her own.

"What began as a side trip for Parliament-Funkadelic’s Michael “Clip” Payne has evolved into one of the most versatile jam bands around, a Family Stone-meets-The-Dead vehicle that frees your mind -- so that your ass, of course, can follow. Some of the finest original funk this side of Sly Stone, Larry Graham and the Godfather of Soul. The 420 Funk Mob melds that sound with some Sixties psychedelia, a bit of Sun Ra "arkestration," performed by a revolving cast of former P-Funk members and masterful musician friends. Jam after jam, style after style, they sync up. One collective under a frequently hypnotic groove" buy tickets

Country Night with BBQ chicken and drink specials!with Shannon and PeteCountry, Rock (modern)

What attracts us to new bands? Exceptional vocals teamed with exceptionally talented musicians. One listen to Breakfast with the Boys and you'll understand.

Breakfast for the Boys is a Hudson Valley Indie band that delivers a fresh style of Soul with a "70s Art Rock subconscious". This dynamic four-piece showcases the underground Funk of Boston's rich music scene and the gritty, romantic sounds of New York. Powerhouse front-woman Aubrey Haddard fights fire with fire; a smokey vocal firestorm fueled by the intense prowess of guitarist Pierce Allen, bassist Sam Smith, and drummer Roger Larochelle.

Breakfast with the Boys just releases their self-titled LP, showcasing the group's obvious comfort in a variety of sounds and styles... "from tremolo' cries to midnight Mali Gospel; all sexy, hip-shaking, and unashamed. Breakfast is served."

With Danika Holmes on piano, rhythm guitar and sweet sultry vocals, and Jeb Hart playing intense alternately percussive and mercurial guitar leads, Danika and The Jeb create a unique blend of bluesy acoustic pop that’s both substantive and soulful. Last year Danika and The Jeb were picked from over 300 performers/groups as Artists of the Year by the Concerts in Your Home network.

Though most of their material is original, Sirius XM’s "Coffeehouse Station" chose Danika and The Jeb’s distinctive acoustic version of the Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently Weeps for extensive U.S. air play, wining them fervent new fans from coast to coast in the process.

This concert will be held inside the intimate acoustically exquisite old Phoenicia Railway Station with very limited seating. Tickets are $18 or $15 with RSVP to flyingcatmusic@gmail.com. For more info call 845-688-9453. Door opens 7:00 pmInformation on Flying Cat Music Concerts

Two-time Tony Award-winner Sutton Foster brings her crystal-clear voice and vivacious personality to Caramoor for a dazzling cabaret evening of song. Equally at home with showtunes, pop, and country, the star of Thoroughly Modern Millie and Anything Goes can belt effortlessly to the back of the balcony (or the Venetian Theater) or draw you in closer to capture the very essence of a lyric.

The New York Times described the New York based pianist and Grammy-nominated artist Eldar Djangirov as “a blend of musical intelligence, organizational savvy, enthusiasm and prowess that was all the more impressive for seeming so casual... an ebullient impressionist.” Dr. Billy Taylor said, “Eldar Djangirov’s playing shows brilliancy, complexity, and discipline.... He’s serious about his music, he’s thoughtful about what he does.” Jazz Times said, “Maybe he made a pact with Lucifer to be the greatest pianist ever.” Praised as “a genius beyond most young people I’ve heard” by Dave Brubeck. Downbeat magazine stated that “his command of his instrument is beyond staggering.”

Two beloved masters of slide, 5-time blues music award winner Rory Block and Texas Music Hall of Famer Cindy Cashdollar, offer an exceptional evening of the blues. Rory Block has been heralded by Blues Revue as "one of the greatest living acoustic blues artists.” She has preserved the Delta blues tradition and brought it to life for 21st century audiences around the world. Her latest album “Keepin’ outta trouble: A tribute to Bukka White” made it to the top of the “Living Blues Radio Charts.” Dobro, steel guitar and lap steel player Cindy Cashdollar's unerring ability to complement a song or step out with a phenomenal solo has led her to work with the likes of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Levon Helm, Asleep At The Wheel, Marcia Ball, Jorma Kaukonen, Leon Redbone, BeauSoleil, Daniel Lanois, and Peter Rowan. Cindy was the first woman to be inducted into the Texas Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame in 2011. $25/$20 members/$12 students (current school ID required for college students)

Marc's original music is influenced by folk, funk & blues, with a few choice cover songs woven in. As one reviewer wrote: "If you haven't seen Marc Von Em perform live, you're only cheating yourself."

Marc is able to create amazing amounts of sound and diversity through his voice and one faithful guitar. His chops are wide-ranging, from delicate finger picking to rambunctious Pete Townsend-type strumming. Marc is able to seamlessly switch his vibe -- his dynamic voice can go from smooth & soaring to smoky scatting. His harmonica playing is equally impressive and he sometimes uses it to accompany Muddy Waters-style blues on guitar.

Just off his 3rd tour with The Rob Thomas Band -- this year with the famed '90s band, Counting Crows -- Marc Von Em receives raves reviews wherever he plays. Rob Thomas wrote, "... when I heard his original stuff, I asked [Marc] to open up a 10,000 seat gig. Just him, his guitar, and his songs. He killed it!"
